So I’m always quite chuffed to see a game that takes its visual cues from more recent consoles, like, say, Bel’s Fanfare, a very 3DS-era looking Zelda-esque game where you play as a little demon girl who works as a cleaner on a strange, massive ship....

Delivery Must Complete is Devil May Cry for Ace Combat pilots Never too close for miSSSiles Image credit:Yoyoyollie It’s been long enough since I last played an Ace Combat game that I can remember only two things about Ace Combat. 1) This Ace Combat 7 cutscene featuring what appears to be a wavy JPEG of a dog, which the Twitterati all thought was an exasperated animator’s joke, but which I understand is actually a homage to a real staff member’s dog who died before the game’s release....

Yesterday, Youtuber Jamrock Hobo leaked a presentation for Locust City - An Elysium Story, an abandoned project that would have expanded the original RPG’s detective odd-couple premise by having you control two returning characters simultaneously, each with their own furiously personified skill tree and Thought Cabinet of percolating ideas....

Dueling Grounds codes (February 2026) Get new Dueling Grounds weapons with these codes for free coins and gems Image credit:Dueling Grounds / Rock Paper Shotgun On the hunt for some Dueling Grounds codes?

As you might expect from a Dune survival game, obtaining water and staying hydrated is a major part of daily life on Arrakis. The hydration bar on the lefthand side of the screen will be a constant thorn in your side in the early game, and if you stay out too long in the sun, your hydration level will rapidly fall until you collapse in a parched heap....
